A further object of our invention is to produce a simple and compactcoat hanger upon which trousers or skirts may be supported withoutinterfering with the coat arranged on the hanger.

he various features of novelty whereby our invention is charzu-terizedwill hereinafter be pointed out with particularity in the claims: but,for a full understanding of our invention and of its objects andadvantages. reference may be had to the following detailed descriptiontaken in connection with the accompanying drmving, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front view of a hanger arranged in accordance with ourinvention; Fig. 2 is a view looking toward the left in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 isa view similar to Fig. 1 showing a modified form of hanger; and Fig. etis a top plan view of the hanger shown in Fig. 3.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, 1, 2 and 3 represent thethree sides of a frame made in the form of an isosceles triangle at theapex of which is a hook, 4, or other suspending device. The frame maytions of the sides 2 and apex are bent forward so as to bring the upperhalf of the triangular frame in a plane making an obtuse angle with theplane of the lower half.

When the hanger is placed in a coat it is arranged so that the inclinedupper portion extends toward the front, thus allowing it to engage therear portion of the collar while the side or end portions underlie theLetters Patent Patented Nov. 21, 1916.

The hanger illustrated in of the drawing is the same 111 principle asthe other hanger although differing therefrom slightly in structuraldetails. The second form of hanger may also conveniently be made of onepiece of wire the ends of the horizontal piece or cross bar, 7, beingbent upwardly as indicated at 8 and 9 and then being bent so as to formwith the lower portions of the other two frame members It) and 11. loopsor rings, 12 and 13, which and 3 of the between their dly projectingupon which :1

Figs. 3 and 4 give a wide bearing for each of the shoulders of agarment. The upper portions of the members 10 and 11 are bent in thesame way as the upper the. members 2 and While we have illustrated andwith particularity only a single preferred form of our invention, we donot desire to be limited to the exact structural details thusillustrated and described, but intend to cover all forms andarrangements which fall within the definitions of our inventionconstituting the appended claims.
